Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove to a paper towel on a plate, and then cut into small pieces.
Season the boneless thighs (I like to use Creole seasoning) and then brown in the bacon grease.
Allow the thighs to cool and then shred them into small pieces.
Brown the onion whites in the bacon grease, and then remove to paper towel on a plate.
Put the dressing and the hot sauce in the crock pot and set on low.
Add the rest of the ingredients and crock pot and cook for 3-4 hours, stirring every 30-40 minutes.
If you would prefer to cook this in the oven, mix the ingredients together in a bowl and then put into a shallow casserole dish, baking at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes.
When finished, move to a serving dish and garish with some more of the cheese and the onion greens.
